      Couldn’t you argue that climate change falls under the right to happiness and life? That we have a right not to give up our right to life and happiness to greedy corporations who don’t care about us?

        It certainly falls under life, but you have no Constitutional right to life, either.

              Part of it is due process, but it also means you have the right to not be killed by the actions of the government without being found guilty of a crime.
